  • Wheel screws winter steel rims – Peugeot 407 HDI from 2004

    Was just in the workshop, made winter tires on it and when wearing it meant that it was kind of funny to wear and if that were really the right wheel bolts, of course, only those of Alus did not fit and just made them out. Couple of technical terms thrown but I forgot about it little idea and already in excitement, should drive to Peugeot and ask if the wheel bolts were somehow called back or if it all fits like that. Only there are no Mech today now I don’t know if I should drive (wanted to do 100 km today). Did I still think that there was something like that with Renault and the place around wheel bolts on rim got cracks or something, I don’t know, so I still know that they had 100 with the torque wrench so far as I know how it should be. Now the question if someone knows what it’s about and if I can drive with it? Is a 407 of 2004, 2.0 HDI. gt if a specialist sees something about it. I would be very happy about a timely answer

  • Is Peugeot 407 really that bad?

    Hi! Since 2005 drive a Nissan Maxima 2.0 Bj 99 So slowly it gets old and rusty, ahb also recently coupler changed, now also servo sweats somewhere. But still drives well (171000 km). Now I want to look for something new, and on e.g. this 407 peugeot 407 but have on the internet and especially here in forum, that there are many problems with the 407, like e.g. servo failures or climate. I have also heard of carrying joints and co. Should I rather let it be with the 407, or isn’t it a piece of junk like I sometimes imagine after some topics here? Greetings, Alex

  • 407 SW HDI 135 Error: repair engine error vehicle (manipulation)

    Hello, we play with the thought to sell the 407 SW. For this reason yesterday as today someone was there who wanted to test him. (unfortunately again all strange guys want to take with them the best still money, for that they take the vehicle) Yesterday everything was ok, the guy kicked on the gas etc., a few little things many him of course on etc. (no eye-catching, except the belt strapper/airbag error the cable, see other thread I wanted to make still) Today I am of the opinion that he deliberately distracted us to manipulate the vehicle. He had removed the cover from the engine block (i.e. the plastic cover), did not run round and what he still said. We had let him drive alone, it also took quite a long time until he came back. Then, only step speed, errors in the display: “Faultmeltung: Motor error – vehicle repair” Frauchen said that we had already had that already when we did kickdown in cold condition ten, that was after 3 days or so away again (or over kilometers, I know what) Personally the mistake was new to me. Anyway, not only the error lighted up, at once the engine runs quite unevenly, or it wobbles as if it is loose at once. Strangely only that the guy went down in price, only hobbyists carre etc. Engine damage, after we still refused, he went up with the price, drove away, came back at once, etc. (somehow strange) Can it be that he has loosened something that suddenly swings like this? We had never before. I also had read the following about this error: Quote: in the area of the throttle flap sits a small black plastic hose, approx. 8 cm long with 90° bow, approx. 3 mm inner and 8 mm outer diameter. On one side it was swollen and porous. Fixed changed and everything is good again. Quote end. Because that came again and again, it seems very strange to us, since yesterday also That with the kick down is apparently known or brake + gas at the same time (or so) compels this error. How can I look now in the engine room what it could be all at once?

  • Peugeot 406 2.0 Timing belt change

    Hello everyone Today I started to change the timing belt on my Peugeot 406 2.0HDI bj.2000. The change procedure is well known to me but it is the first time I dare to do this. So I start from the beginning. The first thing I did is that I have made all the plastic parts that are runherunm (air filter housing, computer unit housing etc.) The starter is also off. The timing belt covers are also off. Now the TOT position of the motor follows. The crankshaft After Hayene’s instructions I blocked with an 8mm bolt, but the hole on the flywheel just doesn’t get into the position of the lock on the engine block so that I can insert the second 8mm bolt. Can it be that someone used to put it there (the flywheel is not installed properly) and does it make much difference if I change the timing belt without the flywheel’s Blocade? If you need pictures I can make it tomorrow. Thank you.

  • Peugeot 508GT Recommended ? Experiences ?

    Hello together, I am currently driving a Peugeot 407 Coupe with 2.7L HDI and 204hp with full equipment. Now I am thinking of buying a 508GT as a limo (SW does not want my wife). What do the professionals among you mean in the Peugeot warehouse? Maybe one or the other also writes his experiences with his 508GT. I also looked around: Mercedes C-Class = forget about interior, just cheap plastic Audi A4 = if then only with leather and better engine (from 200hp ). In the standard version as you often see it, it doesn’t work with the interior at all and it’s also expensive. BMW 3s and 5s = Same, don’t talk to me, and ask me until today what should be “premium” here (unless you put a lot of coal on the table). So only the Peugeot stayed there again, just speaks to me, inside as well as outside.

  • Start problems with Peugeot 407 SW

    Hello, who can help me? I have a Peugeot 407 SW Diesel, B.J 2006 because it first sprang after many start attempts. my lion has 116500 km, this week was the one at free workshop 2 days was looking for the error and found nothing which have separated complete diesel line up to the injector and connected a tank with diesel then everything has worked freely as the told me. After that a seal on the line was replaced and it worked r for 2 days after that came the same problem again. Again with the workshop on the phone and I was told that I should replace completely from the hand pump to the injection with housing for diesel filters. Just I tried to separate the line from fuelilter and plug it in together without the fuelilter, it did not bring anything the problem is still there. My guess is now that something has to do with the starter, because if I want to start the engine The battery was tested yesterday and that’s Ok which was changed a year ago. Thanks in advance for your answer. I’m sure you’ll be happy to hear from me.

  • 406C Consumption Manual vs. Autom.

    Hello together, I play with the thought of buying a used 406C pinin, in which I would have 2 questions to the experts and/or owner of this noble piece automobile: 1. In the official 406C brochure the consumption of the 3L V6 207PS with 10L/100 is on average, the automatic version of the same however with only 0.4L more, i.e. 10,4L to 100. Is this only a theoretical value or does the version for one-legged really consume only so little more? 2. if I use this 3.0 L Version 10km to go to work, then I only heat the car unnecessary or does the engine actually get warm at such a distance? So, long speech short sense, I look forward to every answer. Greetings, a coming Peugeot driver donjoe1980

  • Question about 406 Coupé automatic air conditioning, exterior mirror el.

    Hello together, since yesterday proud owner of a 406 Coupé 2.2 Platinum and am totally satisfied with the car so far. I still have some questions: The car has automatic air conditioning and as soon as I press the button “Auto” the “A/C” lights up at the same time in the display. Why actually ? Since I have set the temperature so to 21 degrees does not need the car to switch on the air conditioning, or ? Did not notice the money “A/C” at some point so I always switch it off manually because of the fuel verbracu… can someone please explain to me how this whole climate control system works now? Thanks in advance. My second question is: Every time I park the electric outdoor mirrors I flap inwards by switch. As soon as I get back into the car and go off, I want to fold out the mirrors again, however, you only move a little bit… so power out again, switch for mirror again and then moto r start…is this so normal? Or do I have to just put the switch in “normal position” before I start the engine… ? Thanks for your Antwrote ! Greet all Peugeot friends, Branko

  • Reduced attachment and support load of the new versions from the end of 2020 (1900 / 84 kg) – expert opinion!

    Hello from Berlin The topic of reduced trailer loads and support loads (1900 kg / 84 kg) of the new four-pieces delivered (from approx.12/2020) and their possible load-up often occurred. I have just talked to an employee of SK Handels GmbH about this. According to her they would be very interested to check a load-up because the “old load-up” for the new deliveries does not work. In order to be able to check a new load-up report there, two i Items required: 1) Copy of the vehicle certificate with registered trailer load (1900 kg) and support load (84 kg) 2) A photo of the type plate of the installed transverse carrier of the trailer coupling. (Not from the ball head!) If someone already owns a delivered specimen with AHK and the reduced loads or knows someone who owns one, it would be great if he or she would contact the SK Handels GmbH once and provide the above data so that the Ko I would like to do it myself, but my delivery date is still in the future. I very much hope that one of you can help. This would help me and the community very much. Dear Greeting! Cosmose of the Berliner
